One of my all time favorite bands is MGMT. These two guys Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser started messin' around when they were in college together. Once they realized how much potential they had, they actually started writing serious songs. They are known for being potheads, but a lot of good songs can come from potheads too. Their first successful release was their Time To Pretend-EP, released in 2005. After that they released Oracular Spectacular which is the album they've been most successful with. It's more of an electronic album, but it still has plenty of guitar and acoustic instruments too. There most recent album release, Congratulations, is kind of a disappointment compared to Oracular Spectacular, but it still gets the job done. No matter which way they push their music, I've always loved it and hopefully always will.
